bryanmc Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I know this has been covered before but I can't find it using the search function. Where are you guys buying your bulk (1/2 or 1 lb) powder paint? Edited May 4, 2018 by bryanmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchance Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I don't go through hardly any so it has been a few years, but when I bought I just bought on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpNoodle Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 1/2 and 1 lbs isn't bulk. 55 lbs at a time is a box and that's bulk. There are many sources for powder paint and a simple Google search will return more results than you can click in a day. I like the powders from Prismatic myself.

I was just thinking "bigger than a 2 ounce jar". LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Columbia coatings is where I bought most of mine. Otherwise ebay from someone selling powder by the pound. Cadman has some good green pumkin for a good price as well. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwatersniper Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Barlows tackle sells 1 lb for $35. I have also tried harbor freight powder paint on my river Jig’s. Don’t know how well they are going to hold up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsouth Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 search your local area for powder paint suppliers, that is what I did.... nothing over $10 a pound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Has anyone gotten the HF powder to work in a fluid bed, I just can't seem to get it to flow like the pro-tec or any of the automotive supplier powders.

I bought some of their paint years ago when I first started. Didn’t take me long to get rid of it. Gave it away. Went to Columbia Coatings powder and haven’t looked back.

Went to Columbia Coatings powder and haven’t looked back. I tried H.F. also, It made a nice color addition to my waste can lol. Up until I bought a pound of white off of Cadman, all of my white and black came from Eastwood car company. I got a deal there. Protec/CS for all others colors.

Slammingjack Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I used H.F paint, still do. Hate the flat black, Your right about the white being hard to float , but can be done just use less and stir it a lot. Like the red and the yellow. Got blue and ink black from prismatic powders. Used a color wheel and now have over 30 colors. Use protec for some colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I use Cadmans white for the base coat on most of my jigs. Great paint at a great price. I also order 1# containers of super glow paints and uv blast from Tj's tackle Powder by the pound, Columbia coatings, and Rosie's are good also.

edgecrusher Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I mainly use prismatic powders, huge huge colour selection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I just got some from a Canadian supplier called "Emerald Coatings" a quick test showed it will work in the fluid bed. One thing I noticed on the web site is they gave what I think is the Specific Gravity of the powder. Has anyone noticed this and tried to connect SG value and a paint that is a PIA to work with in a typical aquarium pump fluid bed. Even as a baseline does anyone know what the value might be for the pro-tech paint , I did do a quick google and could not find any numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
